< 1 Samuel 28 >

1 And it cometh to pass in those days, that the Philistines gather their camps for the war, to fight against Israel, and Achish saith unto David, 'Thou dost certainly know that with me thou dost go out into the camp, thou and thy men.'
Pea ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ko ia naʻe fakataha ʻe he kakai Filisitia honau ngaahi kautau ki he tau, kenau tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAkisi kia Tevita, “Ko eni ke ke ʻilo pau te tau ō mo koe ki he tau, ʻa koe mo ho kau tangata.”
2 And David saith unto Achish, 'Therefore — thou dost know that which thy servant dost do.' And Achish saith unto David, 'Therefore — keeper of my head I do appoint thee all the days.'
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Tevita kia ʻAkisi, “Ko e moʻoni te ke ʻilo pau ʻaia ʻoku mafai ʻe hoʻo tamaioʻeiki. Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻAkisi kia Tevita, “Ko ia te u fakanofo koe koe tauhi ʻo hoku ʻulu ʻo taʻengata.
3 And Samuel hath died, and all Israel mourn for him, and bury him in Ramah, even in his city, and Saul hath turned aside those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land.
Ka ko eni kuo pekia ʻa Samuela, pea naʻe tēngihia ia ʻe ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻonau tanu ia ʻi Lama, ʻio, ʻi heʻene kolo nofoʻanga ʻaʻana. Pea kuo ʻosi hono kapusi ʻe Saula mei he fonua ʻakinautolu naʻe maʻu laumālie kovi, mo e kau kikite loi.
4 And the Philistines are gathered, and come in, and encamp in Shunem, and Saul gathereth all Israel, and they encamp in Gilboa,
Pea fakakātoa fakataha ʻakinautolu ʻe he kakai Filisitia, ʻonau haʻu ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi Sunemi: pea naʻe fakakātoa fakataha ʻe Saula ʻa ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻonau haʻu ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi Kilipoa.
5 and Saul seeth the camp of the Philistines, and feareth, and his heart trembleth greatly,
Pea ʻi he mamata ʻa Saula ki he tau ʻae Filisitia, naʻe manavahē ia, pea tetetete lahi hono loto.
6 and Saul asketh at Jehovah, and Jehovah hath not answered him, either by dreams, or by Urim, or by prophets.
Pea ʻi he fehuʻi ʻa Saula kia Sihova, naʻe ʻikai tali ia ʻe Sihova, ʻi ha misi, pe ʻi he ʻUlimi pe ʻi he kau palōfita.
7 And Saul saith to his servants, 'Seek for me a woman possessing a familiar spirit, and I go unto her, and inquire of her;' and his servants say unto him, 'Lo, a woman possessing a familiar spirit in En-dor.'
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Saula ki heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki, “Mou kumi kiate au ha fefine ʻoku ʻiate ia ha laumālie kovi, koeʻuhi ke u ʻalu atu, pea fehuʻi kiate ia.” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe heʻene kau tamaioʻeiki kiate ia, “Vakai, ʻoku ai ʻae fefine ʻi Enitoa ʻoku ʻiate ia ʻae laumālie kovi.”
8 And Saul disguiseth himself and putteth on other garments, and goeth, he and two of the men with him, and they come in unto the woman by night, and he saith, 'Divine, I pray thee, to me by the familiar spirit, and cause to come up to me him whom I say unto thee.'
Pea naʻe fakapuli ia ʻe Saula, ʻo ne ʻai ʻae ngaahi kofu kehe, pea ʻalu ia, mo e ongo tangata, pea naʻa nau hoko atu ki he fefine ʻi he poʻuli: pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke fakahā kiate au ʻi he laumālie, pea ke ʻohake kiate au, ʻaia te u tala kiate koe.”
9 And the woman saith unto him, 'Lo, thou hast known that which Saul hath done, that he hath cut off those having familiar spirits, and the wizards, out of the land; and why art thou laying a snare for my soul — to put me to death?'
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he fefine kiate ia, “Vakai, ʻoku ke ʻilo ʻaia kuo fai ʻe Saula, koeʻuhi ko ʻene tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu naʻe ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi laumālie kovi, mo e kau kikite, mei he fonua: ko ia ko e hā ʻoku ke tō ai ʻae tauhele ki heʻeku moʻui, ke u mate ai au?”
10 And Saul sweareth to her by Jehovah, saying, 'Jehovah liveth, punishment doth not meet thee for this thing.'
Pea naʻe fuakava ʻa Saula kiate ia ʻia Sihova, ʻo pehē, “Hangē ʻoku moʻui ʻa Sihova ʻe ʻikai hoko ha tautea kiate koe, koeʻuhi ko e meʻa ni.”
11 And the woman saith, 'Whom do I bring up to thee?' and he saith, 'Samuel — bring up to me.'
Pea naʻe pehē ai ʻe he fefine kiate ia, “Ko hai ia te u ʻohake kiate koe?” Pea pehē ʻe ia, “ʻOhake kiate au ʻa Samuela.”
12 And the woman seeth Samuel, and crieth with a loud voice, and the woman speaketh unto Saul, saying, 'Why hast thou deceived me — and thou Saul?'
Pea ʻi heʻene mamata ʻae fefine kia Samuela, naʻe tangi kalanga ʻo leʻo lahi ia: pea lea ʻae fefine kia Saula, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā kuo ke kākaaʻi ai au? He ko Saula koe.”
13 And the king saith to her, 'Do not fear; for what hast thou seen?' and the woman saith unto Saul, 'Gods I have seen coming up out of the earth.'
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe he tuʻi kiate ia, “ʻOua naʻa ke manavahē: he ko e hā kuo ke mamata ai?” Pea pehē ʻe he fefine kia Saula, “Kuo u mamata ki he ngaahi ʻotua ʻoku ʻalu hake mei he kelekele.”
14 And he saith to her, 'What [is] his form?' and she saith, 'An aged man is coming up, and he [is] covered with an upper robe;' and Saul knoweth that he [is] Samuel, and boweth — face to thee earth — and doth obeisance.
Pea pehēange ʻe ia kiate ia, “Ko e hā hono anga?” Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, ʻOku ʻalu hake ʻae tangata motuʻa; pea ʻoku pūlou ʻaki ia ʻae pulupulu.” Pea naʻe ʻilo ʻe Saula ko Samuela ia, pea tulolo ia mo hono fofonga ki he kelekele, pea naʻa ne punou hifo ia.
15 And Samuel saith unto Saul, 'Why hast thou troubled me, to bring me up?' And Saul saith, 'I have great distress, and the Philistines are fighting against me, God hath turned aside from me, and hath not answered me any more, either by the hand of the prophets, or by dreams; and I call for thee to let me know what I do.'
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela kia Saula, “Ko e hā kuo ke ueʻi ai au ke ʻohake au?” Pea talaange ʻe Saula, “Kuo u mamahi lahi; he ʻoku tauʻi au ʻe he kakai Filisitia, pea kuo ʻalu ʻae ʻOtua ʻiate au, pea ʻoku ʻikai te ne kei talia au, ʻi he kau palōfita, pe ʻi he ngaahi misi: ko ia kuo u ui ai kiate koe, koeʻuhi ke ke fakahā kiate au ʻaia ʻoku lelei ke u fai.”
16 And Samuel saith, 'And why dost thou ask me, and Jehovah hath turned aside from thee, and is thine enemy?
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Samuela, “Pea ko e hā kuo ke fehuʻi ai kiate au, ka kuo ʻalu ʻa Sihova ʻiate koe, pea kuo hoko ia ko ho fili?
17 And Jehovah doth for Himself as He hath spoken by my hand, and Jehovah rendeth the kingdom out of thy hand, and giveth it to thy neighbour — to David.
Pea kuo fai ʻe Sihova kiate koe, ʻo hangē ko ʻene lea ʻiate au: he kuo hae ʻe Sihova ʻae puleʻanga mei ho nima, ʻo ne foaki ia ki ho kaungāʻapi, ʻio, kia Tevita:
18 Because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, nor didst the fierceness of His anger on Amalek — therefore this thing hath Jehovah done to thee this day;
Ko e meʻa ʻi he ʻikai te ke talangofua ki he leʻo ʻo Sihova, pea fai kia ʻAmaleki hono houhau lahi, ko ia kuo fai ai ʻe Sihova ʻae meʻa ni kiate koe he ʻaho ni.
19 yea, Jehovah giveth also Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines, and tomorrow thou and thy sons [are] with me; also the camp of Israel doth Jehovah give into the hand of the Philistines.'
Pea ko eni foki ʻe tukuange ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻIsileli mo koe ki he nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia: pea ko koe mo ho ngaahi foha te mou ʻiate au ʻapongipongi: pea ʻe tukuange foki ʻe Sihova ʻae tau ʻa ʻIsileli ki he nima ʻoe kakai Filisitia.”
20 And Saul hasteth and falleth — the fulness of his stature — to the earth, and feareth greatly because of the words of Samuel; also power was not in him, for he had not eaten bread all the day, and all the night.
Pea naʻe tō lafalafa leva ʻa Saula ki he kelekele, pea ne manavahē lahi, ko e meʻa ʻi he ngaahi lea ʻa Samuela, pea naʻe ʻikai toe ha mālohi ʻiate ia; he naʻe teʻeki kai ia ʻi he ʻaho kotoa ko ia, pe ʻi he pō kotoa.”
21 And the woman cometh in unto Saul, and seeth that he hath been greatly troubled, and saith unto him, 'Lo, thy maid-servant hath hearkened to thy voice, and I put my soul in my hand, and I obey thy words which thou hast spoken unto me;
Pea naʻe haʻu ʻae fefine kia Saula, ʻo ne vakai ʻoku mamahi lahi, pea naʻa ne pehē kiate ia, “Vakai, kuo fai talangofua ʻa hoʻo kaunanga ki ho leʻo, pea kuo u ʻai ʻeku moʻui ki hoku nima, pea kuo u tokanga ki hoʻo ngaahi lea ʻaia naʻa ke lea kiate au.”
22 and now, hearken, I pray thee, also thou, to the voice of thy maid-servant, and I set before thee a morsel of bread, and eat, and there is in thee power when thou goest in the way.'
Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou kole kiate koe, ke ke tokanga koe foki ki he leʻo ʻo hoʻo kaunanga, pea tuku ke u ʻai ʻae konga mā siʻi ʻi ho ʻao; pea ke kai koeʻuhi ke ke maʻu ʻae mālohi ʻi hoʻo ʻalu ʻi ho hala.
23 And he refuseth, and saith, 'I do not eat;' and his servants urge on him, and also the woman, and he hearkeneth to their voice, and riseth from the earth, and sitteth on the bed.
Ka naʻe fakafisi ia, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te u kai.” Ka ko ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki fakataha mo e fefine naʻa nau fakalotoʻi ia. Ko ia naʻe tuʻu hake ia mei he kelekele, pea hekeheka ki he mohenga
24 And the woman hath a calf of the stall in the house, and she hasteth and slaughtereth it, and taketh flour, and kneadeth, and baketh it unleavened things,
Pea naʻe maʻu ʻe he fefine ʻae ʻuhiki pulu sino ʻi he fale; pea naʻe fakatoʻotoʻo ʻo tāmateʻi ia, ʻo ne ʻave ʻae mahoaʻa, pea natu ia, pea taʻo ʻaki ia ʻae ngaahi foʻi mā taʻefakalēvani:
25 and bringeth nigh before Saul, and before his servants, and they eat, and rise, and go on, during that night.
Pea naʻa ne ʻomi ia ki he ʻao ʻo Saula, pea ki he ʻao ʻo ʻene kau tamaioʻeiki; pea naʻa nau kai. Hili ia naʻa nau tuʻu hake, pea ʻalu ʻi he pō ko ia.
